Beetlejuice
Description:
The Beetlejuice cartoon is an American-Canadian animated series that ran from 1989 to 1991, loosely based on the movie and developed by Tim Burton. In a significant departure from the film, the show depicts Beetlejuice as a friendly prankster and the best friend of Goth girl Lydia Deetz, with whom he has adventures in the afterlife realm of the Neitherworld. The series is a fantasy comedy horror that features creative and often bizarre visuals, memorable characters, and a unique, slightly altered version of the main characters.
